Dr. No-No's:
Practices Frowned Upon by the American Medical Association
1. Diagnosing someone as HIV positive based solely upon a visual inspection.
2. Too frequent prescription of âa healthy dose of realityâ to spoiled children of well-to-do parents.
3. Excessive diagnosis of the disease known in 17th century Salem, MA as âwitchcraft.â
4. Use of Fischer-Price stethoscope, even in emergencies when you canât find a real stethoscope.
5. Offering a sales promotion where every vasectomy comes with a free neutering on a dog.
6. Marketing the above promotion by stating, âMan should not suffer alone. Bring in your best friend and weâll snip him too, at no extra cost!â
7. Helping isolated bacteria fight loneliness by âintroducingâ them to human populations.
8. Failing to recognize and diagnose correctly the symptoms of advanced leprosy.
9. Enforcing a âdonât ask, donât tellâ policy on all your male nurses.
10. Suggesting to leukemia patients the possibility that they caught it from something they received in the mail.
11. Encouraging races between wheelchair bound patients and patients on crutches by giving odds and taking bets on said races.
12. Behaving in a manner that diminishes professionalism, like preceding every entry into the Intensive Care Unit with the catchphrase, âpeak-a-boo, ICU!â
13. Trivializing the addictive nature of certain medicines by oneâs flippant attitude, i.e. constant references to the administration of Ether as a âvisit from the Ether Bunny.â
